BISMARCKS LETTER
Galveston TeJ Septv 21
To The News Tt is the hit dog
that holrers Sam Jones
I desire to blj strictly parlia
mentary in this communication
for I know that a man who is
heart and soul for the free
foinage of uilver the Chicago
platform and the election of
Brjan and Sewall and the en
tire democratic state ticket
would stand no show to get his
sentiments expressed to his
countrymen throngh the col
umns of the great Galveston
News if he were otherwise than
strictly parliamentary in lan
guage and Cuerterfieldian in
manners Hence I beg that my
readers will not attach undue
importance to the short excerpt
fronuthe choice epigrams of the
great itinerant preacher of gold
bugism in the souhwest the
Rev Sam Jones which heads
this communication It is only
used to point a moral or adorn
a tale There is not necessari
ly any connection between Sam
Sam Jones homely epigram
and what follows beyond what
the reader may choose to make
It seems that Governor Cul
berson in his desire to traverse
every road that would lead to
the truth with regard to the
silver question in this country
and Europe addressed a letter
to Prince Bismarck propound
ing certain categorical qnea
tione which Bismarck has an
swered with the frankness
which has always characteriz
ed his public utterances The
veteran exchancellor says
I have always had a pre
dilection for bimetallism but I
would not while in office claim
my views of the matter to le
infallibly true when advanced
against the views of experts
I hold to this very hour that it
would be advisable to bring
about between the nations
chieily engaged in the worlds
commerce a raunial agreement
in favor of the establishment of
bimetallism Considred fiotn
a commeicial and industrial
standpoint the United States
are freer by fif in tiuir nu fve
ments than any nations of Eu
rope and hence if the people of
the United States should find
it compatible with their inter
ests to take independent action
iii the direction of bimetallism
I can not help but believe that
such action would exert a most
salutary inlluence on the can
sninmalion of international
agreement and the coming into
this league of every European
nation
This is the opinion of the
great Bismarck tlie author of
German unit and founder of
the German empire of the nine
teenth enntiiry lie is not now
in office His work as a politi
cian and staiisman is lifiih d
n now from his retreat speaks
to the human race as a pliiloa
opher and sagej and he says
while in office he always had a
predilection for bimetallism
Now out of office neaiing the
end of his great career in the
Britain and the United States honesty of his eoul he admits toba
Highest of all in Leavening Power Late
the peopleof the United States
are freer by far than any ua
tion of Europe and if they
should find it compatible with
their interests to take indepen
dent actiou he can not help but
believe that such action would
have a most salutary influence
on the consummation of inter
national agreement and the
coming iuto this league of every
European nation Herr Bis
marcks letter to Governor Cul
berson admits of only one in
terpretation He was always a
bimelallist when iu office but
yielded his correct views to so
called experts hence silver in
Germany was demonetized in
1871 but to this hour Bismarck
holds to bimetallism and be
lieves Americas independent
action will bring every Euro
pean nation iuto bimetallism
This is the doctrine that Mr
Bryan has taught In all his
speeches that we arejhe freest
people on earththe most power
ful und entirely capable of
managing our own affairs and
intend to do it Bismarck who
once stood for absolutism in
Europe declares we are freer
by the far than any European
nation in his belief will in
liuence every European nation
nerr Biemarck does not pre
sume to advise the American
people to go into bimetallism
that would be impertinent
but he recognizes the United
States are freer by far than
any European nation if the
people find it compatible with
their interests to take indepen
dent action etc So Herr Bis
marck recognizes that all power
in this government is vested in
the people He knows and
understands the theory of this
government Let the American
people read Bismarcks Ihmhi
and the telegram to Mr Bryan
from the international agricul
tural congiess fiouiBuda Pesth

broad that the hopes of human
